Ukrainian tennis player's house destroyed by Russian missile and only... a Roland Garros towel remained

Record12 September 2026 at 16:24

Ukrainian tennis player Dayana Yastremska shared images of her apartment in Odessa, which was completely destroyed after being hit by a Russian missile. The explosion left only some debris, including a towel related to the Roland Garros tournament.

Yastremska used social media to show the extent of the damage caused by the attack in her hometown. The destruction of her home represents yet another personal impact of the war on the lives of Ukrainian athletes.

Beyond documenting the damage, the tennis player publicly criticized the WTA, the association that manages the women's tennis circuit, questioning the support provided to Ukrainian players during the conflict.

Odessa has been targeted by recurring Russian attacks, and this episode underscores the daily risks faced by the civilian population in Ukraine as the war continues.

Why this matters

The destruction of Yastremska's house in Odessa illustrates the direct impact of the war on the daily life of Ukrainian athletes. Her criticism of the WTA suggests that sports organizations are under pressure to respond more concretely to the situation in the country, which may have implications for other Ukrainian athletes who compete internationally.

Can we pass the barrier at Ponta de São Jorge?

This Fact Check analyses the controversy surrounding tourists at Ponta de São Jorge, in Madeira, questioning whether the signage at the location expressly prohibits access or merely alerts visitors to the danger. A comment on social media, in response to a numerous report by DIÁRIO about the influx of tourists, argued that "danger is not prohibited," arguing that tourists are not explicitly prevented from crossing the installed barrier. The analysis starts from the question of whether the existing signage is sufficient to hold accountable those who ignore the warnings.
